‘Insecure’ Recap: The #NathanNavy Is Starting To Sink

Read more:

Source: Josh Blanchard / FilmMagic/FilmMagic for HBO Lawrence is back on Insecure, but we knew that! We pick up tonight’s episode from last week’s awkward post-Coachella run in between Lawrence and Issa and they exchange minor pleasantries about what they’ve been up to. Of course, they both downplay life but it seems that Lawrence has been quite the busy bee, smashing and dashing literally everyone with a vagina. He’s basically still trying to sex the post-breakup pain away. But unfortunately for him, he got chlamydia in the process. Hold that thought. Meanwhile, Issa is working on throwing a block party as a new business venture to help do something positive in her neighborhood. This is a move that was inspired (in part) and supported by Nathan. So far he really seems to be in Issa’s corner and they have a sweet moment where Nathan asks her how she knows when it’s real and then he tells her that he really likes her. Issa’s like is mutual and in her world, you just know when it’s real. So there’s that. #NathanNavy be like… via GIPHY Back to Lawrence. He links up with Chad and Derek to talk about life and he admits that he’s embarrassed by his behavior lately and really wants to make a change. Calm down, he and Issa becoming a thing probably again isn’t happening. He reveals that he no longer has ill feelings toward her, but he also hasn’t looked at her the same way since she cheated. Chad’s stupid arse has the nerve to call Issa a hoe but Lawrence calls him out because he’s definitely a cheater too. The fuq?! Anyway, Issa Rae once mentioned that this season will examine toxic masculinity and we are definitely seeing bits and pieces of that surface because Chad tried it. You can’t be the pot calling the kettle black. via GIPHY Back to Issa. She gets a call from Lyft saying there’s an open investigation involving an assault in her vehicle. Remember when Nathan faded that big disrespectful dude? Yeah, that. Issa texts Nathan and mentions that but he doesn’t even respond. via GIPHY Now we’re at Tiffany’s baby shower where Issa, Molly and Kellie meet Tiff’s bourgie friends, whom she refers to as “the crazy crew,” who also planned the shower. They don’t really know these girls and this is where drama in the inner friend circle starts to unfold. At one point, Kelli storms out of the shower causing Issa and Molly to run after her. Kelli reveals that feels like she’s losing her best friend to a baby, but you also wonder if there’s some jealousy there too. You know, Kelli acts tough and all, but perhaps she wants family life too? Anyway, Tiffany finds them and asks swithat’ up and they all mention that they feel some type of way about not being asked to plan the shower. Tiffany says they were so caught up in their own life drama and didn’t even offer so she felt her other girls, particularly Blaire, who is a mother, would actually be more helpful. Tiffany mentioning Blaire makes Kelli feel worse because it’s rubbing in the fact that she’s not a mother. There are fractures in this group and we haven’t even begun to scratch the surface. Lawrence and Issa com face to face again and talk. It’s not awkward this time and Lawrence even offers to help Issa with some of the business nuances of the block party she’s planning. Cheers to growth. Molly finds out that Dro’s wife is pregnant (Dro and his wife are at the shower) and definitely feels some type of way but it’s hard to feel bad for Molly because just earlier she was playing Andrew, Nathan’s Asian friend that she met at Coachella who is clearly interested, to the left. via GIPHY Finally, the episode ends with Issa getting a call from Lyft to let her know that they closed the investigation. They spoke to Nathan and he gave them a statement. Now Issa is really like wtf because she still hasn’t heard from him. So like…did this grown arse man ghost her? Are we still ghosting over 30? via GIPHY So much for the #NathanNavy. via GIPHY RELATED POSTS ‘Insecure’ Recap: Houston Bae Is Gonna Hurt So Good ‘Insecure’ Recap: Issa Makes Moves To Move Out Of Daniel’s Place

Who They Want? Flip! Flip! Flip! Paul Manafort Enters Into “Cooperation Agreement” With Mueller Investigation Against Donald Trump

Image via Mark Wilson/Getty Images Paul Manafort Agrees To Cooperation Deal With Mueller Investigation Keep your friends close , and people you THINK are your friends closer. Donald Trump is going to have a hissy fit. His former campaign manager, Paul Manafort , has officially agreed to cooperate with Special Counsel Robert Mueller in his investigation agains the President for collusion and election tampering. BREAKING: Ex-Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort cuts 'cooperation agreement' ahead of 2nd trial, prosecutor says. — AP Politics (@AP_Politics) September 14, 2018 Manafort has already been convicted of several felonies in regards to tax evasion that would have resulted in a likely 8 to 10 year sentence. According to the Wall Street Journal , Manafort is set to admit that participated in conspiracy against the U.S. and conspiracy to obstruct justice. You can practically hear Trump screaming from here. Prior to the previous trial in Virginia, Manafort’s lawyer swore up and down that there would be no cooperation deal, but alas… Here’s what the Donnie previously said about Manafort: I feel very badly for Paul Manafort and his wonderful family. “Justice” took a 12 year old tax case, among other things, applied tremendous pressure on him and, unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to “break” – make up stories in order to get a “deal.” Such respect for a brave man! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 22, 2018 A large number of counts, ten, could not even be decided in the Paul Manafort case. Witch Hunt! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 22, 2018 Michael Cohen plead guilty to two counts of campaign finance violations that are not a crime. President Obama had a big campaign finance violation and it was easily settled! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 22, 2018 LMFAO! Donnie and janky Giuliani are gonna have a meltdown!

Andrew Gillum Fires Back At Trump-Supported Opponent Over FBI Investigation

T allahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum , the Democratic nominee for Florida governor, responded on Tuesday to criticism from his Trump-backed opponent about Gillum’s involvement in an FBI government corruption probe. See Also: Trump Is Really Upset That A Black Man Won The Florida Primary For Governor Federal investigators are looking into whether businessmen were able to influence city development projects. Gillum said the FBI told him he’s not the focus of its investigation. The mayor noted that he’s cooperating fully with both agencies–unlike President Donald Trump and lawmakers like his GOP rival for governor, Rep. Ron DeSantis , who have tried to hobble the probe into possible collusion between the president’s campaign and the Russians. “Here in Florida, we’ve done everything we can to aid the agency, while Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump have done the exact opposite — demonizing the FBI and making the case that collusion is not a crime,” Gillum’s camp said, according to ABC News . FBI probe casts shadow over Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum https://t.co/cRSpFTOUXS pic.twitter.com/9YsHZP6FU9 — CBS News (@CBSNews) September 5, 2018 On Monday, Gillum handed over travel receipts to a state ethics commission that’s conducting a separate investigation into the same matter that the FBI is probing, the news outlet reported. “These receipts do nothing to shed light on his luxury trips to Costa Rica and New York City with lobbyists and undercover FBI agents. In fact, they simply raise more questions about Gillum’s ongoing involvement,” a DeSantis spokesman said. Gillum’s connection to the investigation is reportedly centered on his relationship with local businessman and lobbyist Adam Corey , a college friend who at one time was Gillum’s campaign treasurer. Corey had reportedly set up meetings between undercover FBI agents, posing as land developers, and Tallahassee officials—including Mayor Gillum. While casting stones at Gillum, DeSantis has been actively trying to place hurdles in front of the government’s investigation of the president. Trump named DeSantis as one of his “ warriors” in Congress . One of DeSantis’ “warrior” moves happened in 2017 when the congressman unsuccessfully pushed for legislation to stop funding the Russia investigation.

Mahershala Ali Stars In 3rd Season Trailer For HBO’s ‘True Detective’

See original here:

Source: HBO / screen cap After a critically-acclaimed first season and second season that drew mixed reviews, HBO’s crime anthology series True Detective is set to make a return for a third go round. In the starring role, Mahershala Ali brings a steely coolness to the role of an Arkansas police detective troubled by a case. Ali plays Wayne Hays, featuring the character at various intervals to illustrate that the investigation takes the course of decades and consumes him to the point of obsession. “Before you ever knew me, I wasn’t scared much. That wasn’t a fear for me. Things I’ve seen, things I know, wouldn’t do anything but cause harm. My whole brain’s a bunch of missing pieces,” Ali says in a voiceover as Hays. This season of the series looks to be as gripping as Ali goes from sure-footed to frazzled over the course of the quick trailer which, depending on limited visual information, appears to involve missing children and Hays’ hunt for answers. Starring with Ali in the third season of True Detective are Mamie Gummer, Stephen Dorff and Carmen Ejogo. Daniel Sackheim is the director and series creator and executive producer Nic Pizzolatto will make his debut in the director’s chair as well. True Detective will come to HBO in January 2019. — Photo: screen cap

Exclusive: Charlamagne Tha God’s DNA Tests From Closed Rape Case Revealed, “Spanish Fly” Sex Partner Sets Record Straight

Image via John Lamparski/Getty Images Charlamagne Tha God’s DNA Test Showed No Match To Alleged Victim The recent resurfacing of sexual assault allegations against Charlamagne Tha God have left many to ponder whether or not the Breakfast Club’s architect of aggravation was something far worse than just a brash habitual line-stepper. This week on both The Breakfast Club as well as his Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne addressed the allegations surrounding not only his alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl, but his own explanation of “raping” his now wife the first time they had sex, in addition to an incident where he previously recounted getting drunk and taking “Spanish Fly” with a former sex partner head-on. Today, BOSSIP exclusively obtained the official police documents that state that neither Charlamagne’s DNA nor sperm was found after he voluntarily agreed to submit both semen and blood samples to police for comparison to the alleged victim, Jessica Reid. Because no traces of blood or saliva were found on Jessica, there was “no analysis performed” on either party. The police also have on record that Charlamagne spoke to them about this case voluntarily without a warrant or a lawyer present and fully agreed to cooperate with their investigation. You can see those on the next page.

C-Murder Requests His Sentence Be Thrown Out After Witness Recants Testimony 16 Years Later,

Witness In C-Murder Conviction Recants Testimony 16 Years Later Former Cash Money rapper Corey “C-Murder” Miller is hoping to become a free man once again after 15 years in prison over a crime it appears he did not commit. A witness in C-Murder’s 2003 murder trial has come forward to say that he completely fabricated his testimony based on pressure from local police. According to Nola.com , 35-year-old Kenneth Jordan has completely recanted his testimony that he saw Miller shoot and kill a teenage fan at Harvey nightclub in 2002. Jordan claims that the Sherrif’s office arrested him a year after the nightclub incident in connection with the death of his infant daughter. The child’s mother was eventually charged with manslaughter and Jordan was found not culpable for the death, however, police began threatening him with a possible 10-year sentence over impregnating his then 16-year-old girlfriend (the age of consent in Louisiana is 17). Jordan claims cops offered him leniency on his statutory charges in exchange for testimony that would pinpoint Miller as the shooter that evening back in 2002. Being “distraught and scared,” Jordan says he felt pressured to lie and took the officers’ deal. He did not have an opportunity to testify in Miller’s first trial, however served as the “star witness” in his 2009 retrial. However now, he cannot let the lie he told to save himself as a teenager leave an innocent man in jail for life. “I know that the individual who I saw shoot the gun was not Corey Miller.” Miller’s attorney has filed a memorandum seeking a brand new trial for the former rapper. Jordan is set to appear on the Investigation Discovery (I.D. Channel) true-crime television show “Reasonable Doubt” on Wednesday 6/27 at 9pm to discuss his coercion into false testimony. Wow, after all this time. Hopefully, C-Murder is able to get a fair trial this time around… Getty

Farrah Abraham: STILL In Jail After Telling Cops to Go F–k Themselves!

Oh, Farrah. When you got fired from Teen Mom OG for generally being an awful person, we thought your days of entertaining/depressing us with your bonkers bad behavior had come to an end. In retrospect, we should’ve known a day like today was coming. In case you missed it, Farrah was arrested on charges of battery and trespassing last night after allegedly assaulting a male staff member at the famed Beverly Hills Hotel. According to the police report, she was booked at 1:48 AM. As of right now, she’s still being held on $500 bail. We still don’t know what set Farrah off (although we do know that booze was involved), but TMZ has obtained video of Farrah’s arrest , and as you may have guessed — it ain’t pretty. At one point, one of the arresting officers begins searching Farrah’s purse, and the former reality star demonstrates that even in her state of inebriation, she’s well aware of the reality of her situation: “Do you want to do that on camera so that everyone at TMZ can see?” Farrah asks. Further proving that her diva-like attitude remains intact, Farrah tells one of the officers, “I don’t want to be arrested.” She then repeats the phrase “I am not going to be provoked to be arrested” several times. Then things really take a turn for the worse, as Abraham screams, “I am not resisting you!” before breaking down in tears (a classic Farrah tactic) and accusing one of the officers of hurting her. A spokesperson for Farrah issued a statement today in which she thanked fans for their “concern” and urged them to “remember there are two sides to every story.” Meanwhile, police have issued their own statement, in which they state the painfully obvious and confirm that Farrah has hammered at the time of her arrest. “Officers noted that Abraham exhibited signs of intoxication during the investigation,” stated Lieutenant Elisabeth Albanese with the Beverly Hills Police Department this afternoon. It may be hard to believe, given her many years of batsh-t behavior, but this is only Farrah’s second arrest. The first took place in 2013, when she was hauled in on DUI charges . Back then, she pled guilty and was sentenced to six months probation. This time, Farrah might find herself facing a stiffer penalty. For one thing, she’s no longer a first offender. On top of that, there’s a legal precedent in this case, as it was just last year that Farrah’s fellow reality star Kim Richards was arrested for a drunken assault at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Richards very narrowly avoided jail time, but even if Farrah proves equally lucky, she’s got another problem on her hands: Sources have indicated that Farrah’s 9-year-old daughter Sophia was with her in the hotel on the night of the incident. Sophia is currently in the care of a nanny, but Farrah might soon be facing a custody challenge from her mother, Debra Danielsen: “She needs to be with her family, not about strangers and volatility and her mother being arrested,” Danielsen told Radar when asked about Sophia. “It’s very disgusting. She needs to go to school… She needs to not be dragged on a party all over the world.” We’ll have further updates on this developing situation as more information becomes available.
